Mihail Ganev dropped out at the eighth-finals in the men’s freestyle 86 kilogram wrestling at the Olympics in Rio.

The Bulgarian contestant lost to Alireza Karimimachani, Iran by 2-7. This means Ganev will be hoping that the wrestler from Iran reaches the final, so he can race in a repechage for the bronze. In his first match Mihail Ganev defeated Orgodol Uitumen, Mongolia by touchdown literally in the last minute.
